I believe it. I’d be interested to see the breakdown by age groups. I’d say people in my group, those born in the 1970s, the rate would be 75%, and in the millennium generation most likely around 99%.
These days, I’d say the Chinese occupy the moral high ground.
Bet she loves that rainbow flag - it's pretty.
Discount those numbers by at least 10 percent.
Except for the fact that the courts had to shove gay marriage through the courts....so no dice, in my opinion. Polls are propaganda tools.
Sure, I believe in the accuracy and honesty of a poll from CNN. /s
This is just sad denial at this point. Conservatives totally have sat passively for the last 20 years while the media, liberal churches, and Hollywood have wages all out assault on Christian values. Pat Buchanan, who I don't like, totally had it right with his culture war speech in 1992.
Yes, we disagreed with President Bush, but we stand with him for the freedom to choose religious schools, and we stand with him against the amoral idea that gay and lesbian couples should have the same standing in law as married men and women. We stand with President Bush -- We stand with President Bush for right-to-life and for voluntary prayer in the public schools. And we stand against putting our wives and daughters and sisters into combat units of the United States Army. And we stand, my -- my friends -- We also stand with President Bush in favor of the right of small towns and communities to control the raw sewage of pornography that so terribly pollutes our popular culture. We stand with President Bush in favor of federal judges who interpret the law as written, and against would-be Supreme Court justices like Mario Cuomo who think they have a mandate to rewrite the Constitution.Friends, this election is about more than who gets what. It is about who we are. It is about what we believe and what we stand for as Americans. There is a religious war going on in this country. It is a cultural war, as critical to the kind of nation we shall be as the Cold War itself. For this war is for the soul of America. And in that struggle for the soul of America, Clinton & Clinton are on the other side, and George Bush is on our side. And so to the Buchanan Brigades out there, we have to come home and stand beside George Bush.
I know the George Bush part is hard to swallow at this point, but his key point about culture and religious war was right, and america did not listen, or want to hear it.
This Obamacare approval rating is bizarre and conflicts with this poll just a few weeks ago:

WaPo Poll: Obamacare Approval Ties All-Time Low
The above article says:
___________________________________
Support for keeping the subsidies comes despite the law polling as poorly as ever. The survey finds opinion on the health-care law among the worst in Post-ABC polling; 54 percent oppose, up six percentage points from a year ago. Support ties the record low of 39 percent, which was last hit in April 2012...The disconnect in the new poll — that a majority opposes the law, while a nearly equal majority does not want the Supreme Court to rule against it — is driven by political independents as well as Republicans. Independents oppose the law 56 percent to 35 percent. But they also want a ruling in favor of subsidies by almost exactly the same margin.
_______________________________
Now they are telling us that somehow and magically, within the span of three weeks, something changed to cause the approval to go up to a humongous 63% after the SCOTUS RULING?
Something’s rotten in Denmark.
I think my point is most people are now used to it and for the most part accept it as it is not affecting them. As a result, there is a lot of support for it whether you or I like it or not.
A CNN Poll is usually HEAVILY SKEWED in the direction that validates their LIBERAL POV.
“This is just sad denial at this point.”
Unfortunately, we see an awful lot of that on these threads.
We’ve been in the echo chamber so long we didn’t notice the country turned away from us. We need to get our heads out of the chamber if we want any hope of changing it back or preserving what little victories we can eke out.
Maybe. Hope not though. I think a lot more people draw the line if one is controlling another in a bad way.
